电脑和智能手机看似不对环境造成破坏,但是数字经济却耗用了世界十分之一的电力,且这一份额将只增不减,给经济和环境带来严重后果。口袋里的苹果手机和厨房里嗡嗡响的冰箱哪个更耗电?也许令人难以置信,答案很可能是苹果手机。正如你可以从一家科技投资咨询业务公司数字动力集团的首席执行官马克·米尔斯新撰写的报告中所知,一台达到环保署能源星评的中型冰箱年耗电量约322千瓦时。而根据米尔斯的计算,一部普通的苹果手机,一旦把无线连接,数据使用以及电池充电加起来的话,一年约耗电361下瓦时。而苹果手机——甚至是最新款——连啤洒都冰镇不了。(谨向重大科技成就学院首先关注到这份报告表示敬意)亦被称为数字经济的信息通讯技术生态系统为何需要如此大且仍在不断增长的能源,苹果手机仅是原因之一。从智能手机到笔记本电脑再到数字电视,特别是构成我们称之为“云”支柱的庞大且耗
Computers and smartphones do not appear to be damaging to the environment, but the digital economy consumes a tenth of the world's electricity and this share will only increase steadily, with serious economic and environmental consequences. Apple cell phone pocket and kitchen buzzing refrigerator which is more power? Perhaps incredible, the answer is likely to be the Apple phone. As you can know from a new report written by Marc Mills, chief executive of Digital Power, a technology investment consulting firm, Digital Power, a medium-sized refrigerator that reaches EPA's Energy Star rating consumes about 322 kWh of electricity annually. According to Mills's calculations, an ordinary Apple phone, once the wireless connection, data usage and battery charging together, about 361 power consumption a year when the watt. The Apple phone - or even the latest - even beer spilled are not cold. (I would like to pay tribute to the CSIT first to pay tribute to this report), also known as the digital economy's need for such a large and still growing source of energy for the information and communications technology, is one of the reasons Apple phones are just one of them. From smartphones to laptops to digital TVs, and in particular the massive and costly components that we call the “cloud” pillars
